The other day I read a blog post that argued how "Fight for the users" should be a core tenet for every developer. I agree; and, unfortunately, the main undercurrent of the defense of electron, at least in this thread, is one of almost complete disregard for the users. Yes, most of them probably won't notice the performance impact. Most of them also don't notice whether their applications are insecure or overstep their privacy boundaries. It doesn't mean we shouldn't care about security or should build hidden trackers into all the code we produce. That aside, Electron is just an ugly idea in general (obligatory IMO). I wouldn't want to run an entire browser just to run my own apps, next to the actual browser. And I say this as someone who works almost exclusively in web development and who likes javascript.
